Con menos que 75% para preservar intensidad. Sirviò fui ub cada ronda. Los muscleups fueron estrictos desde sentado en anillas bajas. Falta colgar algo para poner las altas todavía, y la soga!

Laburè con 90 pesando cerca de 75

I question the second point on "Loose Fingertip Grip". I mean, it can be done...but if you are a cleaner (Oly) I do not think it should be done. Thoughts?

I used to feel this way too, but now I don't. If someone doesn't have excellent wrist flexibility, then forcing a full grip is going to roll the bar forwards and limit how heavy they can lift. If your goal is to front squat heavy, then a loose grip is OK. If instead you are using the front squat as an assistance exercise to the clean, then you need flexible wrists and should consider a full grip.

Log in to comment button is dead on safari on my iPhone. Duck duck go works again though! (Used to be the other way around)


10:31 scaled with 185lb. and reversed the order of the squats to ascend. Did all unbroken sets on both movements. 1.5xbw

is 12lb under my all time PR, so no thanks!


Started a round every 2 min to try to keep HR and breathing down due to hazardous smoky air. I did the last muscle up early to give myself more rest before the final set of front squats which was hard-as were the sets of 5,4, and 3 on muscle ups. Muscle ups were mostly an explosive pullup into the dip but the last rep on the aforementioned sets required a hard fought transition.


Squat shoes, 12” soft butt target, and did the last set of squats belted.


warmup was 2 rounds: 6 tempo false grip ring rows, 6 tempo push-ups, 10 tempo squat to stand, 10 second hollow hold to L sit to land in squat, then build up 10s bottom of dip hold, 5 sec top of dip hold+5sec negative+5sec hold +5sec dip., 1 strict MU

6fs@95,5@125,4@155,3@185,2@205, and 1 rep at 225lbs. each set followed by a strict Muscleup.

We did the beginner option


6-5-4-3-2-1

  • jumping pull ups
  • incline push ups on Rogue box
  • front squats (gradually increased the weight, started with 20 lbs ez-bar and increased weight by 2.5 lbs on each side)


I felt like the workout was getting easier as we went. I felt like I was jumping higher to the pull up bar.

No access to rings or pull-ups since the bar is part of my squat rack, so…

6-5-4-3-2-1 front squats, 155#

12-10-8-6-4-2 unsupported bent over rows, 53# kb and push-ups on dumbbells

10:30

squats a little shallow.

Dropped bar in 3s round, took a minute to work up the will to clean it. Front squats done with arms crossed due to elbow pain. Rings done in basement from knees, pretty well strict for all reps.

Scaled to regular muscle-ups and 1.25x bw front squats (225#), 16:59.


This was plenty weight on the front squats.  Failed a rep in round of 5 and had to strip some weight to get the bar back up to the rack.  Muscle-ups all singles – went pretty good today.  Cooled down by chopping some wood in the back yard.

Used Steven’s suggested sub for strict ring MU. Those transitions are surprisingly taxing mid workout. I used this example

https://youtu.be/xthCe-_A-xg


6-5-4-3-2-1 reps for time of:

2 strict chest to bar pull-ups + 2 strict ring dips + 2 muscle up transitions per rep (12-10-8-6-4-2)

Bodyweight front squats


155 lbs. front squat.

Only the first 1-3 reps of c2b were strict

Switched MU sub station every rep.


26:53 but didn’t rush it

Globo wod: If you don't have rings today do strict bar muscleups, or substitute. Subs for muscleups include 2 strict chest to bar pullups, 2 strict ring dips and 2 muscle up transitions per rep (if you have rings). Sub for ring dips are weighted bar dips or 2 to 1 pushups on dumbbells. For front squats, if you don't have a barbell available sub 2 to 1 dumbbell front squats at bodyweight, or 3 to 1 dumbbells front squats 50/35lb dumbbells.
